Sql Server Install

[murugavelmsc]

Hi,

In my system have the windows XP professional edition with service pack 2.
When i install sql server 2000 standard edition i have a message
" Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Server Component is not supported on this operating system only client components will be available for installation"

Hence I cannot install properly. I installed only the client componets. Thereafter when I went through Enterprise Manager and tried to establish a connection, I failed. It said server does not exist.

What to do now?


Thanks,
Murugavel

You can't install it there. See this list of supported editions.
